One time, a bunch of geese landed on Moody's pond and spent the night. There was a very hard freeze that night, and the pond froze over. The next morning, when the geese went to fly away, they took the whole pond with them! Froze solid! Same winter, there were some loggers working in the woods. It got sooooo cold that winter, that words would freeze as soon as they left someone's mouth! You couldn't hear a word anybody said, until next spring, when all the words started to thawing out! Then, you couldn't get any sleep, cause they were thawing all night! Then one summer, it got sooooo hot, that the corn started popping right there in the field. The geese thought it was snow and headed south for the winter! It got so dry that summer, that you had to blow the dust away when you cut a watermelon, and fire hydrants were whistling for dogs! ----- Original Message ----- From: Doc Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 6:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RR] The Birds- *I crossed the Columbia River and passed through a marsh area this morning and migrating brids had made a stop overnight..
Suddenly, as the sun was comming up.. they came alive.
There were THOUSANDS!
They rose.. and I could "feel" them lift.. like when you observe something large that is on a "plain"... that moves.
They then started to fly in a circle, and it was like a storm cloud of birds.. some went the oppisite and others went the way of the flock.. But the more that joined... the more crowded the sky became and portions began to fly off in different directions!
What was ONE big flock began to seperate into two then three groups as they spread out... *How did they come to choose direction? *I thought..
They still circled their marsh, and then each group broke away.. SW East and west.. It was like watching a cloud break up..
*I was amazed.. I heard them make sounds.. *and I heard them flap their wings.. It was like a big fan!
Then to my amazement, as the birds flew off.. they automaticly formed "V" shape flight wings! They were at different altitudes, but all over the sky were "V" shapes flying east to Mt.Hood...
HUNDREDS of flights! If the "V" was heavy to one side, some birds flew up to get it right!
These was zero of these things: / or these: \ just this!:^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Cool! Doc
